The Franciscan Mission in Birmingham 1657–1824

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  16 September 2015

Extract

Six Franciscan missioners left St. Bonaventure’s, Douai in 1629, on the first attempt to re-establish the Order of Friars Minor in England. All six were martyred or imprisoned during Charles I’s reign. Further groups were despatched during the Interregnum, including one in 1656. Among this group was Father Leo Randolph, whose father Randolph Ferrers owned the Warwickshire manor house of Wood Bevington, between Evesham and Stratford on Avon.
